George Holzeit designed this five-story red-brick tenement in 1875 for Fred Kirchers, as a twin of 137 Thompson Street. Its mass-produced metal lintels and sills match those on other 1870s tenements nearby, including 103-105 Sullivan Street, and its cornice has fluted brackets and decorative frieze panels. The northernmost storefront has since become a residence, but some cast-iron piers remain at street level.
